4th of July Overload

As we all know, we don't take the 4th of July lightly, so the morning started off with some patriotic tattoos and donning our red white and blue.  We helped grandma put up the flags around the neighborhood and got all excited for the day! 

During the middle of the day we went to the Lindon pool with these cute cousins and had a blast getting some energy out.  That evening we had the traditional cul-de-sac of fire bbq and flag ceremony.  I love seeing how excited my kids get, makes it even better!

I think Hadley and Allie had about 8 snowcones each.  I wonder where they get that from? :)

Summer at it's best!  The girls went to bed with like 8 glow bracelets each.  Love it!

Little Baby Caleb

Every baby we see now is baby Caleb, said in a little high voice, according to Hadley.  Jenny had baby caleb the week before we got to Utah so we made a trip up to Hyrum to meet baby Caleb and play with the rest of the Garlocks.  We had so much fun, playing and eating lunch at their house, getting some frozen yogurt and playing up in the canyon at a park by their house.  It was so much fun to be able to play outside in the not too hot weather compared to Mesa.  While we were in Utah, Mesa was in the 120's.  Bleh.

We played in the creek, swings, and explored all around.  Thanks Garlocks for the awesome time and letting us come up and see you all.  The girls now love squinkies (thanks to Sophie), and talk about their cousins all the time.  We love you!

Jammin' with Grandpa

Allie had heard that Grandpa plays the ukelele, so she told me one day that she wanted to have a jam session with Grandpa when we get to Utah.  So, on one of the first nights in Utah, out on the back porch on a beautiful summer night, there was a wicked jam session.  

Allie brought her harmonica and we pulled out the rice bucket for a drum so everyone could play.  Thanks grandpa for jammin' with us!
